Thanks billy, that would certainly work.....

I'll try to find someone local to trade with...

billyr98 · 01-27-2007, 11:38 PM

Cool!! Glad I could help!

Craig Manoukian · 01-28-2007, 12:25 AM

Good pump, great suggestion Billy. Marine Depot is very close to me!

Gina · 01-28-2007, 07:17 AM

Looks nice Doni!
Are you going to sand the stand and what stain are you planning on using?

Woodstock · 01-28-2007, 07:40 AM

I just ordered a new Iwaki 55RTL return pump... thanks again Billy!

Gina, same color as it is (black). Sanding and redoing the stain and polyureathane will make it look like new. Adding new hinges and molding will make it look much nicer.

Woody, DIY Durso stand pipes for the overflows. it will cost you about $5 to build 2.

Thank you Witty, I'll definately check it out

Woody here is a link to my 120 with a 40gal breeder sump, thought it might help since it is basicly the same setup you are doing. cioutlaws 120gal.

I used a Coralife pump rated at 1200GPH & placed it on the left over styro pad that the tank sits on. It has been very quiet & trouble free since April. Congrats on the new set up!!

Woodstock · 01-28-2007, 11:58 AM

Thanks... I remember that thread now.

Very nice tank. Nice plumbing work on it.

lcstorc · 01-28-2007, 02:19 PM

EVerything is looking awesome! Keep up the good work!
I can't wait to see it full of water and all your goodies.

Cool Doni!! I also built my dursos.. i grabbed the parts list and brought it to a plumbing supply and it was real easy!

Woodstock · 02-01-2007, 08:22 PM

I need to add the trim, drill holes in the stand for the overflows, add a few more coats of polyeurathane and then I'll be ready to dry plumb it

I did not want to paint the back glass black so I painted it a dark blue. Very similar to the color on my 90 gal.

I did not want to paint the overflow glass so I taped them off.
